A Fly '55


Wildwoodians, is prototype number two from a run of Custom Shop 1955 Les Pauls Standard. Basically, it's a sunburst Les Paul with a wraparound tailpiece meant to evoke an early fifties P-90-equipped goldtop that a player refinished to sunburst in order to emulate a '59, which gives it a sweet vintage-mod vibe. But, this prototype isn't just a piece of Gibson Custom history: it's a sonic sledgehammer!

Here at Wildwood, we believe that all you need is love, and by "love" we mean "Gibson Custom Shop P-90s." They're truly wonderful: rich in overtones with plenty of articulation, snarl, bite and chime. They also display outstanding touch-sensitivity, making for a wonderfully expressive playing experience. The wraparound tailpiece also maximizes resonance and sustain, making for a remarkably powerful take on the Les Paul P-90 sound. Add in a '55 Soft V neck profile that feels as comfy your favorite pair of sweatpants, and you've got a recipe for musical joy and inspiration!

We have no doubt this incredible prototype '55 Les Paul Standard will inspire you to embark on all sorts of musical adventures with its good looks, pugnacious P-90s, and fabulous feel!
